I was standing outside the front door that I didn't think I would ever go near again

The door is opened by my little sister Emma and her normal face quickly turns into a huge smile, the same as mine

"Sophiaa" she screams jumping into my arms

I spin her around, the guilt I've been feeling suddenly deepens realising how long I've let my parents keep me away from her

"I'm so sorry Em" I say holding her close to me

"Emma who is it" my mothers stern voice speaks and she stops when she sees me with Emma in my arms

"What's wr-" my father starts coming out of the living room

"What are you doing here?" He asks wrapping his arm around my mothers waist

"I'm here to see Emma" I state coldly "and to sort out an agreement of when I can see her"

"Well then let's go to the park so Emma isn't in the middle of it" my mother states

I kiss Emma's cheek who is messing with my curly hair "wanna drive with me?" I ask her "I've got your booster"

She nods her head happily and I put her in the back of my car making sure she's strapped in

"Soph why haven't I seen you in so long" she asks when I pull into the car park of the local park

I wasn't sure what to tell her so I just kept it simple "Me and mom and dad just need some space but I promise you'll see me more often"

"So I get to see her Fridays and Saturdays and for an hour on Wednesday" I clarify still being cold with my parents

"And that's that" my mother states

I look over at Emma who's playing in the sand pit

"When I get a place of my own I was hoping she'd be able to stay over on Friday nights" I state 

"No way"

"And why not?"

"How will I know if she's safe" my mother speaks

"Because you know I wouldn't put her in danger" I say angry before I stand up and turn around "and don't worry about your other daughter for all you know she's sleeping on the street"

"Well are you?" My dad asks

I scoff "like ye care" I walk off and crotch down beside Emma

"I've got to go but I'll see you Wednesday ok" I tell her

She nods her head and hugs me

"I love you Sophia"

"I love you too Em"

"Girl we've got to look so good tonight and get some really hot boys" Kelsey says running her hands through her straightened hair
